Over the last week, I have been so busy that I hadn't had a chance to catchup. So, here is some of the latest.
I tried my hand at some colorful bath bombs. They were fun.
I also made some more melt and pour soaps. I added some good stuff in these. One had chamomile and honey added and the other had some rose buds and green tea. I am getting up the nerve to try the lye soap making.
A week or two ago, I decided to try planting in some bags of soil. Can it be? No digging up my clay. This is what it looked like when I planted. I already have stuff coming up. I will get updated pics soon. I will have to show you a pic of the broke down baby pool I planted salad stuff in. Recycling at its best - redneck style!
My radishes have started getting big enough to eat for sure. The taste is great! I am going to attempt to cook some of these. I read that they are like an onion and will caramelize. You can grill them in some foil. Look it up.
Last weekend, I decided to get something on my baby's windows. We only had window blinds. I wanted to do something that looked like a toddler and less infant. I got 6 yards of a robot fabric, and I am on a mission to add it to everything in his room. I started with adding material trim to some valances. The sheers on the window really helped. I plan on making a comforter, and some pillows or throw animals. I should have enough material to go awhile.
Wow! You've been a busy gal. Awesome results though :)
ReplyDeleteYour soaps are beautiful. Miss you girl, we need to get together.
ReplyDeleteI love the soaps! What did you use for your green tea, btw? I've been thinking about doing one but not quite sure what I want to use just yet.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we're moving back to Houston in September. The girls and I are planning a garden in our new back yard. I'm sure that I'm going to have lots of questions for you. So fun! ;-)
Hey Melanie, I actually just put green tea in it. I cut open a tea bag and measured it out. Pretty cool. I had heard you can use stuff out of your pantry so I gave it a whirl.
ReplyDeleteI hope once you move to Houston that we can all find our way to visit and catch up.
